Happy 6 months old!!

My little pumpkin head, aka, Makayla is six months old today! She went for her 6 month check up on Wednesday and was given a clean bill of health! Her doctor is always so impressed with how well she is growing and that she hasn't been sick at all since she was a preemie. She weighs 12 pounds, 9.6 ounces now! It's crazy to think she has come this far when she was so tiny at birth.

Sidenote: Makayla is taking a nap in her bouncer right now and is laughing out loud in her sleep! I love to hear her laugh!

This month, Makayla has learned how to roll over both ways. Last month she was rolling from her stomach to her back but she just learned to roll from her back to her stomach. She actually just did it for the first time yesterday. I laid her down on her mat in the floor to fix her a bottle and when I came back, she was on her stomach! She started rolling over and over and over! I think she will be crawling soon. She already tries to scoot when she's on her stomach.

One of my favorite things that Makayla has started to do a lot this month is laughing! She will giggle and giggle when you tickle her under her chin. Her little laugh is so contagious. I could listen to her laugh all day. She is such a happy baby girl! She is now eating like a big girl too. She eats sweet potatoes, squash and carrots. I think her favorite is squash. We tried giving her green beans the other day and she HATED them. She started gagging and making faces. We thought she might just be tired so we tried them again a few days later. We got the same reaction from her, so we have decided that she isn't a green bean lover.

I am looking forward to the new things that Makayla will learn in the months to come. I am hoping that her next new trick will be sitting up on her own. That way she can really play with her toys.

Mommy and Daddy love her so much!! We couldn't imagine our lives without her. She brings such joy and happiness to our lives everyday. Here are a few pictures of our 6 month old girl!
